Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the ketchup, Dr. Pepper, brown sugar, bourbon, barbecue seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, dried minced onion, and salt; if desired, stir in celery salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring frequently.

On an oiled grill, cook chicken, covered, over medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Turn the chicken over then grill for another 15 to 20 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 170°F to 175F°, brushing occasionally with sauce mixture.
